The King's Secret: A Draw Along Story For Kids
Episode 55
Saturday, 25 April, 2026
Once upon a time in Ireland, there lived a king with a secret so enormous, so embarrassing, so downright ridiculous that he had not told a single soul — not the queen, not his children, not even his dog (and dogs, as you know, are excellent listeners). In today's draw along episode, The King's Secret, your story artist meets a young barber named Liam who is about to learn two things the hard way: secrets are very heavy to carry, and the truth has a funny way of finding its voice anyway. Grab 3 pieces of paper and your favorite coloring materials — you are about to illustrate a royal hairstyle studio, a whispering willow tree, and a flute that refuses to keep its mouth shut. What on earth is this king hiding under that ceiling-tall crown?What You'll Need3 pieces of drawing paperYour child's favorite coloring materials (markers, crayons, colored pencils — whatever adds a little pizazz)About 30–35 minutes of listening-and-drawing magicDrawing Prompts In This EpisodeFive (or more!) wildly different royal hairstyles — your kid is the barber in charge of making everyone in the castle look fabulousA beautiful willow tree with draping, rustling branches — set into a whole meadow scene of sky, grass, and quiet countrysideThe magical singing flute — notes, words, musician, listeners… whatever your little story artist's imagination dreams upWhat Your Story Artist Takes AwaySecrets are heavy — and letting the truth out can feel like putting down a giant backpackThe "embarrassing" thing we try to hide often becomes the thing people love mostCourage looks a lot like a mother marching up to a palace to save her sonThree finished drawings, some good giggles, and a calm, screen-free kid at the end of itKeep The Screen-Free Magic GoingLoved this episode?
